How Your Support Helps

Thank you for choosing to support SignHealth. Your fundraising will make a huge difference to thousands of deaf children and adults. Find out how SignHealth uses the money you raise to give deaf children the same healthy future as their hearing friends.

£10 could pay for a school uniform for a Deaf child living in Uganda. Without a uniform they wouldn’t be able to attend school.

£20 could pay for school books for 30 children attending a special school for Deaf children living in Uganda.

£50 could pay for an emergency overnight bag, with toiletries, food and essentials for a deaf woman or child needing to flee their family home.

£100 could enable one of our profoundly deaf residents with mental health issues, to enjoy a memorable day out with their SignHealth support worker.

£150 could provide 5 hours of support, care and advice by one of our deaf outreach workers, for a deaf person with mental health issues struggling to cope on their own.

£250 could provide 5 therapy sessions delivered by a deaf specialist, for a young deaf person who has suffered neglect and abuse to help them cope with their traumatic experience.

£500 could make a significant contribution towards the refurbishment costs of our 24-hour supported housing projects for deaf people with enduring mental health issues.

£1,000 could fund a teacher for deaf children living in Uganda for one term.

£1,250 could enable 25 deaf people to access our online interpreting service and experience improved communication with their GP or healthcare professional, instead of having to rely on their family or friends, or scribbled notes.

Case Studies

Edward10 year old Edwar is deaf and his life has been transformed by the work SignHealth does in Uganda. At the school we support he has learned to communicate with others for the first time in his life, using sign language. He can now play with other children who are just like him, and he’s being educated to equip him for a full life.

Jessie

Jessie is 22 years old. She was abused physically and emotionally by her partner and became severely depressed. Jessie found help and support through our specialist service, DeafHope, which supports deaf women who have been affected by domestic violence. We supported Jessie for three years, placing her in a refuge and helped her overcome depression.
